Tropical Refuges with Exceptionally High Phylogenetic Diversity Reveal Contrasting Phylogenetic Structures

Distribution of species richness (a) and phylogenetic diversity (b) of Apocynaceae in northeastern Brazil, using cells with one neighborhood cell; 0.5° cells with black margins present exceptionally high (5% highest) phylogenetic diversity without neighborhood in Chapada Diamantina (CD) and Bahia Costal Forest (BCF); 0.08° cells present exceptionally high (2.5% highest) phylogenetic diversity with (black margins) and without neighborhood cells (black squares) in CD and BCF.
